The Georgia insurance commissioner is accepting comments on proposed rule changes that would cut the pre-licensing course load by almost two-thirds for personal lines agents.
“The primary purpose of the proposed changes to all Regulation Chapters … is to modernize and modify the regulations, increase departmental efficiency in delivering services, and bring them into conformity with industry best practices to the benefit of Georgia Consumers,” the commissioner’s office said in a bulletin.
The proposed changes, affecting parts of state , would lower the course load from 20 hours to 8 hours.
The proposals are on file at the Administrative Procedure Division of the Office of Commissioner of Insurance, 708 West Tower, Floyd Building, Two Martin Luther King, Jr. Drive, Atlanta.
A hearing will be held May 15 at 1 p.m. in the hearing room at the commissioner’s office on the ninth floor of the West Tower.
